I do not want to encourage using a patched make. I only want to let the user
this possibility. Following your first argument, this implies for me that we
should also ban host-autoconf, host-automake etc. from the buildroot because
they need not be specially configured for cross-compiling and, consequently,
one could easily require the host environment to provide them (as it is
currently done for 'make'). So I really fail to see how 'make' does not fit
into the rest of the 'host-' packages.

By the way, autoconf e.g. does get patched in the buildroot.
